the time has come

I will be leaving for dinner and then the airport in a few hours, so this will be my last post from the states. I just wanted to write that i am so excited to go. I really am. I don't have butterflies yet, and i am not sure if that is because I am not thinking about what I am about to do. hmm.... oh well. I don't feel like throwing up so maybe I will approach this the same way i did skydiving. Just jump. That might become my motto in life. Okay, I gotta go. The procrastinator in me from college has never graduated and I still have not finished packing. Adios mi familia y amigos.

I'm waiting for you too!!! So I went to this church on Saturday night (b/c I had to work Sunday...for the last time!) Anyway, I was prepared to actually not like it because it's pretty big...but they won me over with great worship and a strong BIBLICALLY based sermon. That's so weird that that's hard to find. So yea, I'm not quite sure if it's the one I'll call home yet, but it's a possibility at least. Praise God! I also found this reformed church I'm gonna check out next Sunday :) Not PCA, but the closest I can come to it around here. Can't wait to hear about Trinidad and any fun adventures you've had so far...so POST! Love you!!

Here I am, in my classroom in Los Alamos, New Mexico. I am looking around, thinking about you might be seeing around you. I look forward to an update, dear girl.

Love, Sarah H.

BECKA! I am excited to hear that you are safe and sound in Trinidad! Though I'm super bummed I missed your call. I talked to my dad about moving to NYC, and he was freaking out, because it's "so far away and dangerous and expensive and..." and I was like, "Or I could just move to TRINIDAD, go live with Becka," and suddenly New York didn't sound so bad to him!

Love always~

ps~anxiously awaiting the a massive stack of photocopies from you!

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
